1 Work Package Overview

Work Package 12.00 - Airport Systems is in charge of supporting Airport Operations concept definition and validations within the SESAR Programme by supplying prototypes and validation environments. This scope includes all flight ATM phases since landing and take-off, but also some approximation and Network synchronisation and other processes not directly related to the aircraft, such as passenger and baggage processes.

As a system Work Package, its objectives are achieved through the third level and were focused on develop and deliver the technical part of the Data packs Solutions delivered. These works includes:

Develop Technical Specifications (TS) based on the Operational Specifications coming from the operational projects OSED (WP6 mainly);

Develop prototypes based on the TS.

Perform Verification of the prototypes according to the TS defined and write and publish the related Verification Report.

Integrate prototypes in the Validation platform and set it ready for the Validation through the Integrated Verification.

Support the Validation carried out by the Operational projects.

Complete TS with Validation results affecting the requirements as it will be direct part of the Data Pack delivered.

Support the output of the SESAR Programme by providing SESAR Solutions to the next stage of development i.e. PCP scope, SESAR Deployment Manager.

The WP has ensured the activities are managed in accordance with programme guidelines and support the consolidation of results at a higher level - for example the consolidation of performance benefits at SESAR Programme level.

The WP has proposed system functional architecture content updates of the Architecture of the technical systems Description Document (ADD) through the 12.1.7 Airport Systems Specification drafting and maintenance transversal project which compiles the functional architecture of the different projects within the WP.

The work package has in addition the following specific activities:

Manage coordination with other work packages:

o Mainly WP6 - Airport Operations for validation performance.

o WP10 for some technical coordination on the boundary of the two WPs.

o WPB for Architecture

o SWIM WPs: WP8 and WP14.

o WP3 for Verification and Validation.

Support and develop the involvement of third parties

Monitor and ensure the application and respect of the programme rules, recommendations and guidance

Support the SJU in the communication and dissemination of TMA related results and achievements.

This picture was lately modified when in the second BAFO call SWP12.5 was removed and all projects of 12.5 SWP were integrated within 12.5.4.

1.1 Work Package contribution to the Master Plan

WP12 contributes to the Master Plan through the works performed by its 28 projects. These contributed to the development and validation of concept elements which were grouped together as Operational Focus Areas (OFA).

WP12 includes the following projects:

Federating projects: P12.1.7

Primary Projects: P12.1.9 (merged with 10.1.9 in 2014), P12.2.1, P12.2.2, P12.3.1, P12.3.2, P12.3.3, P12.3.4, P12.3.5, P12.4.1, P12.4.3, P12.4.4, P12.4.6, P12.4.7, P12.4.8, P12.4.9, P12.4.10 (early merged with other 12.4 Remote Tower projects), P12.5.2, P12.5.3, P12.5.4, P12.5.5, P12.5.7, P12.6.2, P12.6.3, P12.6.7, P12.6.8, P12.6.9, P12.7.3 and P12.7.5.

7 of 14


OFA 01.02.02 - Enhanced Situational Awareness

OFA 06.01.01 - iCWP Airport

OFA 05.01.01 - Airport Operations Planning and CDM

OFA 05.03.06 - UDPP

These OFAs included the effort from projects also of other WPs and worked for delivering an integrated and consistent output.

The WP12 projects works were mainly focused in STEP 1 Solutions and very few of the finally reached some STEP 2 results.

WP12 high level contribution to the Master Plan involves most of the main Master Plan key indicators, which are:

Cost Efficiency

Capacity

Environment

Operational Efficiency

Safety

WP12 projects participated in two of the ATM Master Plan Key features:

Optimised ATM Network Services: because of the Collaborative NOP related works that involved Airports integration into the Network (AOP - Airport Operation Plan and NOP - Network Operations Plan) and the UDPP works.

High Performing Airports Operations: where most of this key feature areas were covered.

The ATM Functionalities of the PCP in which WP12 project were involved are two:

AF#2 - Airport Integration and Throughput Functionalities

AF#4 - Network collaborative Management (Flow & NOP)

1.2 Work Package achievements

WP12 contributed to the delivery of several SESAR Solutions through the projects it coordinated. The following table summarises these. Solution Packs are available for each of these Solutions.

Those Solutions which have reached E-OCVM V3 maturity are ready to be considered for deployment. There are some of these Solutions included in the PCP scope ('PCP' in the last column) for the SESAR Deployment Manager. Those Solutions which have not achieved full V2 maturity are proposed as candidate solutions to be developed in the scope of SESAR 2020.

#14 Departure Management integrating Surface Management constraints

The solution describes operational procedures and technical specifications supporting departure management taking into consideration route planning and route monitoring information, taking into account taxi time updates while taxiing for TTOT and TSAT Updates.

V2 (PCP but not V3 achieved).

#15 Integrated and throughput-optimised sequence of arrivals

Fully integrated and throughput-optimised sequence of arrivals and departures for the same runway (or for dependent runways) is set up by an algorithm considering minimum separations. The sequence is characterised by high planning stability and all controllers working towards establishing the plan. Thus, in addition to arrival metering and pre-departure sequencing, controllers will follow Target Take Off Time (TTOT) and the Target Landing Time (TLDT) as closely as possible. Feeder controllers will provide the required gaps in the arrival sequence to allow for the respective departure flights

V2

#20 Collaborative NOP for Step 1

A Collaborative NOP Information structure (information model, classification by types of actions, influencers, performance objectives, relationships between actions, objectives, issues, etc.) will be available. The Collaborative NOP will be updated through data exchanges between Network Manager and stakeholders systems to the required level of service. This will enable the Network Manager and stakeholders to prepare and share operational

decisions (e.g. TTA, STAM) and their justifications in real-time.

#21 Airport Operations Plan and AOP-NOP Seamless Integration

Airport Operations Plan (AOP) and Integration of airports into ATM (AOP-NOP Integration) through Monitoring of Airport Transit View and Collaborative Airport Performance Management. The Airport Operations Management provides processes & tools to maintain airport performance for normal, adverse & exceptional operating conditions based on four services (Steer, monitor and manage Airport Performance and post-Operations Analysis).

V3 (PCP).

#22 Automated Assistance to Controller for Surface Movement Planning and Routing

Route Planning function of A-SMGCS that relies on an automatic taxi route generator which uses: - Airport layout description - Flight plan information - Known operational constraints and CDM data. These routes are stored in the A-FDPS and can be displayed on the controller working position.

V3 (PCP).

#23 D-TAXI service for CPDLC application

Use of data link communications between the Tower Controllers and the flight crew during surface movement. It is based on the D-TAXI service from the CPDLC application, as standardised by RTCA SC214/EUROCAE WG78 (DO-350 & DO-351). It also includes the access to this service for end users, through the Tower CWP for the ATCO and through the aircraft DCDU for the flight crew.

V3

#26 Manual taxi routing function

Provision to the Flight Crew of a mean to display taxi routes on an Airport Moving map (already displaying the airport layout (taxiways, runways, fixed obstacles), as well as the own aircraft position).

V3

#35 MET Information Exchange

Meteorological information exchange leading to a better consideration of the impact of actual and forecasted MET information, alerts and warnings of adverse weather conditions on the operations.

V3 (PCP).

#47 Guidance Assistance through Airfield Ground Lighting

Enhanced Guidance Assistance to mobiles based on the automated switching of Taxiway lights and Stop bars according to the Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) operational service. Provision of flight crew and vehicle drivers with supplementary means of guidance based on coupling the taxi route management with the airfield ground lighting. Taxiway centreline lights are automatically and progressively switched on in segments as the mobile progresses along its assigned route. Stop bars are automatically activated to mark clearance limit. The ATCO can issue simpler and shorter taxi clearances through a "FOLLOW THE GREENS"-type instruction.

V3

#48 Virtual Block Control in LVPs

In low visibility conditions, the tower controller working positions are provided with Virtual Stop Bars (VSB) to improve low visibility operations and enhance controller's situational awareness. Virtual Stop Bars can be used by the controller to reduce block-sizes once procedural control applies. Additional controller safety nets will be available to indicate violations of Stop Bars (including Virtual Stop Bars) and to monitor aircraft for any kind of unauthorized movement (Watch Dog).

#52 Remote Tower for two low-density aerodromes

Remotely provided Air Traffic services for two low density aerodromes (small Size). Aerodrome Control Service or Aerodrome Flight Information Service for two low-density aerodromes is provided by a single ATCO/AFISO from a remote location, i.e. not from a control tower local to any of the aerodromes. The ATCO (or AFISO) in this facility performs the remote ATS for the concerned aerodromes. The main target for the two low-density Remote Aerodrome ATS concept is small rural airports, which today are struggling with low business margins.

V3

#53 Pre-Departure Sequencing supported by Route Planning

Pre-Departure management has the objective of delivering an optimal traffic flow to the runway. Accurate taxi time forecasts provided by route planning are taken into account for TSAT-Calculation before off-block. Pre-Departure sequence (TSAT sequence) is set up by Tower Clearance Delivery Controllers who will follow TSAT-window when issuing start-up approval.

V3 (PCP).

#54 Flow based Integration of Arrival and Departure Management

Integrated Arrival and Departure management aims at increasing throughput and predictability at an airport by improved co-ordination between En Route/Approach and Tower controllers. Arrival and Departure flows to the same runway (or for dependent runways) are integrated by setting up fixed arrival departure pattern for defined periods. The successive pattern might be chosen by the operators or provided by an optimization algorithm considering arrival and departure demand. Departure flow to the runway is managed by pre-departure sequencing (integrating route planning) while arrival flow to the runway is managed by arrival metering

V3

#55 Precision approaches using GBAS CATII/III based on GPSL1

This SESAR Solution aims at improving Low Visibility Operation using GBAS Cat II/III based on GPS L1. The solution is based on the existing single frequency GPS L1 signals and is considered as an initial GBAS CAT II/III solution as the final solution should make use of multi-constellation multi-frequency signals.

V3

#64 Time based Separation Time Based Separation (TBS) provides a consistent time spacing between arriving aircraft in order to maintain runway approach capacity, no matter the headwind conditions.

1.4 Contribution to Standards and Reference Material

Some projects within WP12 have contributed to standardisation activities where appropriate to their scope. The specific outcomes are documented in the data-packages which have been developed for each SESAR Solution listed above. In summary WP12 activities have:

Define and implement Eurocontrol NOP B2B services according to AOP-NOP necessities agreed in OFA5.1.1 and Eurocontrol. Particular projects involved are:

- 12.6.2 - AOP

- 12.6.9 - AINS (AOP into Network by SWIM)

- 12.7.3 - APAMS (Airport Performance And Management System)

Standardization works in the Area of Remote tower by projects 12.4.6, 12.4.7 and 12.4.8 and 6.8.4 and 6.9.3 from WP6, collaborated with WPG100 which is tasked to develop standards for Remote and Virtual Towers.

Standardization works were carried out also in the area of A-SMGCS through OFAs 01.02.01 - 'Airport Safety Nets' and 04.02.01 - 'Integrated Surface Management' by collaborating with EUROCAE WG-41'A-SMGCS'. In particular:

- P12.3.3 and P12.3.4 contributed by giving valuable inputs to Eurocae WG-78/RTCA SC-214 ("Standards for Air Traffic Data Communication Services") for the definition and review of the set of messages composing the D-TAXI function.

- "Integrated Surface Management" OFA has contributed to the re-opening of EUROCAE WG-41 ("Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (SMGCS)") by highlighting the level of maturity reached during SESAR in the A-SMGCS Safety Nets, Routing and Guidance functions. 12.03.03 Final Technical Specification will be a key input to WG-41 for the revision of the A-SMGCS MASPS (ED-87) [10], which will cover the A-SMGCS functions to be deployed through the PCP.

- Some OFA / 12.03.03 project members have been providing the experience obtained during SESAR to the EUROCONTROL task force to produce a new specification for A-SMGCS, which will include enhanced surface routing

- P12.3.2 members provide technical documentation to the WG-41 (through its Task T037 - Support to standardization) in order to update ED-87

1.5 Work Package Conclusion and Recommendations

The core role of Work-Package leaders and Sub-WorkPackage leaders throughout SESAR has been to facilitate the work of the projects within WP12 and to support the SJU with programme management activities.

A particular focus for WP12 was to ensure close coordination with other WPs especially WP6. The management of the WP has been coordinated with WP6, partly to achieve efficiencies and align


12 of 14


schedules, but more importantly to ensure that the concepts developed for Airports were fully aligned and optimised. The Airports concept was also aligned at project level with some WP10 projects in the area of TMA, in particular in the AMAN and DMAN areas to synchronise flights and achieve an optimized turnaround.

SWP worked close to the WP projects for their coordination at the beginning of the Programme, although this role was mainly taken by the OFAs coordinators when they were implemented half way of the Programme. At that time SWP Managers were included as part of the OFA management level.

For WP12 as a whole the key conclusions are:

WP12 will deliver 21 SESAR Solutions to E-OCVM maturity level 3. 9 of these Solutions have been selected for inclusion in the PCP scope of the SESAR Deployment Manager. Data Packages are available for all these Solutions. http://www.sesarju.eu/r-d-library

Collectively these outputs contribute significantly to the SESAR goals of increasing efficiency, reducing emissions, improving capacity and improving safety.

The WP12 prototypes have been deployed for validation in a wide range of operational environments across Europe helping the WP6 operation projects to validate and enhance the concepts developed, which will play a key role in the coming future of the capacity and predictability improvement of European Airports.

SESAR 2020

Some SESAR Solutions haven't reached E-OCVM V3 maturity but are considered to show potential benefit at lower maturity levels. These Solutions and some of the ones that reached V3 in current SESAR will be continued in SESAR 2020 in the same STEP (for the first cases) or more advanced STEPs (for the second cases).

Main S2020 projects continuing the concepts developed in WP12 during SESAR are the following:

PJ. 02. Enhanced Runway Throughput

PJ.03.a Integrated Surface Management

PJ.03.b Airport Safety Nets

PJ.05 Remote Tower for Multiple Airports

PJ.04 Total Airport Management

PJ.07 Optimised Airspace Users Operations

And VLDs:

1-2 VLD Network Collaborative Management

1-7 VLD Integrated Airport Operations
